Excellent. There are a few items I'd like to have on Mac OS X. Could 
you please suggest a Mac replacement for:

- ExactAudioCopy <http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/>

(Please don't say iTunes. I'm talking secure modes, error recovery 
control, offset control, speed control, error reporting, audio file 
comparison, etc.)

- Adobe FrameMaker <http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/>

(You may start looking here 
<http://www.infopage.net/fmforosx/possalts.html> if you wish.)

There's more, but, just these two, usable on Mac OS X, would make my 
life much easier.
